The Outer Court Rankings VI: A Conspiracy?

================================

As soon as the battle royal came to an end, a group of disciples that were watching Arthur as a hawk whispered among themselves and one of them stood up and left.

The disciple who left went to send word to the Blood Sword Faction in the inner court.

....

At the hall that belonged to the Blood Sword Faction within the Inner Court.

The inner disciples of the Blood Sword Faction were chatting happily about a matter until a disciple walked in.

The disciple reported that he had just received information about the matters that occurred in the just concluded battle royal.

The hall went silent as they heard what the disciple came to report.

"So you mean he defeated all of them without breaking a sweat?"

"That is what I was told."

"But thinking about it, he does have the qualifications to be a little arrogant. But just a little. It could also be that he was exhausted and was simply faking it to keep up his appearance."
